The Hornady 90362 Custom 38 Special ammunition delivers consistent terminal performance through precision-engineered 158-grain XTP hollow point bullets. This factory-loaded ammunition combines Hornady's proven powder charges with brass cases designed for reliable feeding and extraction across revolvers and carbines.
What Makes This Different
XTP (eXtreme Terminal Performance) bullets feature controlled expansion technology that creates uniform mushrooming at velocities from 800 to 1500 fps. The swaged lead core bonds to the gilding metal jacket through Hornady's InterLock ring, preventing core-jacket separation during penetration. Standard hollow points often fail to expand reliably at lower velocities, while XTP bullets maintain consistent performance across the 38 Special's velocity range.Key Features
